Holiday destinations such Malta and the Canary Islands could be moved to the UK’s green travel list tomorrow, according to a travel expert.
Paul Charles, chief executive of the PC Agency travel consultancy, is predicting Finland, Jamaica, the Balearics, Barbados, Morocco and Grenada could all also be upgraded from the amber category when the government reviews its traffic light system on Thursday.
It comes as the UK reported zero new daily coronavirus deaths for the first time in eight months, fuelling hopes of remaining lockdown restrictions being lifted on 21 June.
Tuesday marked the first time no fatalities within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 were reported since 30 July last year.
The UK is also on the brink of reaching the milestone of three-quarters of adults receiving their first Covid-19 vaccine.
Latest government data suggests that so far, more than 39.4 million people have received their first dose – equating to 74.9 per cent of adults.
